Help me with a costume everyone. One costume I will be doing is Jules from Pulp Fiction while my friend is Vincent. But for another party there is a theme below

"Now here's where it gets cool! This is not your ordinary Halloween party, this one has a theme, and going along with all of Liz's love of epic biblical themes and names, we have decided Heaven vs. Hell sounds like a lot of fun! However, we want you all the get REALLY creative with these themes, I don't want to just see a ton of people wearing cheap wire halos or headbands with devil horns on them! Your costumes don't even need to be from the Judeo-Christian ideas of Heaven & Hell, so do some research, get creative, get funny, get awesome! There will again be a costume contest with prizes. We really want this party to be a smash, but that will take all of you really coming together on this! We will provide food & soft drinks as well as a birthday cake, we would love if you wanted to volunteer any paper plates/cups, plastic silverware, drinks, firewood, etc. Have an idea for something for the party (costume, way to help, idea for decorations)? Contact us and run it by us, we are ready to offer advice, take advice, run with cool ideas.

This will be pretty rad. ;)"

tldr: good and evil party. suggest creativity and avoiding the generic horns and halos.

I have no fucking idea what to do. So many options. Can anyone throw out some ideas that I could pull off as a black fellow of average build that would fit the theme?

The Man in Black at the Crossroads, the dude you sell your soul to in order to become a good musician.

Isn't that just Satan?

Pretty much... BUT WITH JAZZ HANDS! But it would be a rather simple and non-traditional way of dressing up as a demon. Put on a nice black suit, get a black fedora, a harmonica, a bottle of moon shine or something significantly old timey and done.

you can go many directions with this, you can dress up as any of your favorite doom or quake characters
i would suggest this guy

OR
if you wanna go the judeo christian route with a bit of creativity, you could try to envision what Satan woulda looked like prior to the fall or immediately thereafter where you could combine stereotypical angelic and demonic features (burned wings, wounds, etc)

this year i am making my own mario costume. i found a good cap online, and some really blue denim overalls. i need a long sleeve red shirt and some white gloves now, and it will be so gooood.
last year i was one of the fifty jokers walking around my town, but i spent hours practicing the make up so it came out pretty well. most people half-assed that part so i was pleased with it.

Three years ago, I was qailman.
Two years ago, I was wikipedia. (Just printed a bunch of articles and made a jerry-rigged tear away from shirt thing)
Last year, I was jack skellington and my gf was sally. We looked pretty great -- full costumes, but the only picture I have that isn't the two of us is just me in face paint.)

A personal favorite from years ago: My gf wore a plain white t-shirt, decorated with foam cut outs, matchbox cars, and sharpie drawn streets. She pinned a Godzilla figure to her shoulder.

Tokyo.

Also, my buddy was going to wear a toga with a dildo peeking out the bottom. Biggus Dickus. However, it was a PG party, so he pinned a yellow flashing bike light to his shoulder, and bought an obscenely bright flashlight.

He was that guy behind you with one headlight and constantly turing left.

Wearing a Rorschach costume all night sucked. It was hot, and hard to see. So this year, I'm just doing Arthur Dent. A housecoat, a towel, and a book with "don't panic" written in big friendly letters on the front.

I'm trying to convince myself to spend $100 on a Dr Horrible replica lab coat, because apparently no one in all of North America sells that style of lab coat these days and I can't sew.

Eh... I don't know if I'd pay 100 bucks for the coat. Do you have a link or something? I was thinking of dressing as him myself, but I'd have to buy every part of the costume. I normally make things out of clothes I already have

Hmmm Halloween plans ... well me and the fiancee are going with friends to Rocky Horror on the 30th, then a party following and going well into Saturday, and for both I'm dressing up as a 'retro basketball player', got a jersey and basketball shorts (that she's gonna hem really short), knee high socks and a wig and sweat band. Also gotta Sharpie some curly chest hairs on me.

She's going as a really steretypical nerd with hiked up pants, button up shirt, gigantic 80's glasses and a small collection of pokemon cards stuffed in her ink-stained pocket protector.
